Epithelial Regeneration After Doxorubicin Arises Primarily From Early Progeny of Active Intestinal Stem Cells
CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR GASTROENTEROLOGY AND HEPATOLOGY, 12(1), 119–140.
author keywords: Gastrointestinal; irradiation; LGR5; DNA damage response
MeSH headings : Antibiotics, Antineoplastic / pharmacology; Apoptosis / drug effects; Doxorubicin / pharmacology; Epithelial Cells / drug effects; Epithelial Cells / metabolism; Epithelial Cells / pathology; Humans; Intestines / drug effects; Intestines / metabolism; Regeneration / drug effects; Stem Cells / drug effects; Stem Cells / metabolism; Stem Cells / pathology
topics (OpenAlex): Cancer Cells and Metastasis; Metastasis and carcinoma case studies; Cancer Research and Treatments
TL;DR:
It is shown that DXR effectively depleted aISCs in the small intestine and subsequent epithelial regeneration depended on nonquiescent early progeny cells of a ISCs, which may rely on a dampened DDR in contrast to aISCS’ robust DDR, which facilitates expeditious apoptosis.
